The '''Flame Falcons''' were a [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] created during the [[21st founding]] with the homeworld of [[Lethe]]. Little is known about them, except that they were declared [[Excommunicate Traitoris]] within a century of their creation, thereby becoming one of the [[Renegade chapters]]. It is said during a campaign on [[Raffenburg's World]], their largest battle yet, that members of the [[First Company]], who were stationed at the front lines at the fiercest of the fighting, began to immolate. This did not harm the Space Marines, only their foes. The lines were reinforced and when news was reported back that the flames were helping the Space Marines, the commander thought it was a miracle, although he had already sent for an Inquisitor, fearing mutation.
The Inquisitor, however, had a different view. Eventually all of the Flame Falcons began to immolate and they began a celebration on their homeworld after the victorious campaign. The Inquisitor had called for the [[Grey Knights]] who came and destroyed the mutant marines. It is not known how many marines survived, but there have been sightings of immolated marines on more then than one [[Imperial]] battlefield.
